SALT LAKE CITY In a game that lacked a real rhythm between two teams, Utah held on in the second half to claim a 75-67 win over the visiting Utah Valley Wolverines in an empty Huntsman Center on Tuesday.
Utah Valley (2-4) opened up the game looking to establish early dominance and shot at a high clip while the Wolverines outrebounded Utah to take a 5-point lead, their largest lead of the game. But after some back-and-forth, Utah (3-1, 1-0) reeled off a 10-0 run at the 8-minute mark in the first half to pull away from the Wolverines, and the rest was history.

It wasn’t pretty but the Utes got the win over UVU on Tuesday night at the Huntsman Center. The Utes were led by Timmy Allen’s 19 points and six boards, while Branden Carlson had 14 points, and Alphonso Plummer and Rylan Jones also had 12 points in the 75-67 win.
For stretches of the game it looked like Utah was going to run away and hide from UVU. Utah’s offense was moving the ball well, and while UVU was hitting shots, they were getting enough stops to build a solid double digit lead over the Wolverines. Fortunately for the Utes, they forced UVU into 20 turnovers, which they scored 26 points off of, while only giving up eight of their own.
